Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for December 28, 2021

H-a-l-l-m-a-r-k Find it in the dictionary under synonyms for B-l-a-n-d.

Don’t forget their big ‘Build Up To Christmas Event’ starting in May.

Also tedious:-[

TV has been more than its usual crappy. Everybody is running a “marathon” of some sort – an endless stream of reruns.

I wonder why there are MORE commercials in re-re-re-re-re-runs than there are for the original program. Even with royalties, they should have paid for the program by now.

Also I don’t know how they do the compression: the original show was 30 minutes with 3 minutes of commercial the rerun is 30 minutes with 10 minutes of commercials.

I kept count on AMC the other day: 17 commercials between one part of a movie and the next.

Thank technology for DVR: record then fast forward through the commercials, AKA: trash compacting.

Christmas season never leaves Hallmark – one channel will run Christmas movies every Thursday night, the other every Friday, The new rival channel, GAC, owned by the former CEO of Hallmark, will have them every Saturday night. There’s no escape!

More like 4 months reprieve before they start showing all Christmas movies again.

Not buying it. Nope, one day is enough.

The Gingerbread Miracle.

And then – the relentless onslaught leading to Valentine’s Day. Get out the ice cream. And a mixing bowl if you’re feeling fancy.

It gives actors and production crews jobs and entertains enough people to make it profitable. If you you don’t like it, don’t watch it.

Wife has been watching Christmas movies since “Christmas in July” started… and it never seems to end…

You do have the option to change the channel.

What’s next? Christmas in January?

Actually, it’s all year around for the Hallmark channel.
